Government |
The 1964 United States presidential election in Louisiana took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Louisiana voters chose ten [1] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Louisiana was won by the Republican ticket of U.S Senator Barry Goldwater, running with U.S. Representative William E. Miller, with 56.81% of the popular vote against the Democratic ticket of President Lyndon B. Johnson, running with U.S Senator Hubert Humphrey. [2] [3]
Campaign
Goldwater received 65% of the white vote. [4]
Goldwater became the first Republican to carry Louisiana without winning the presidency, while Johnson would win the national election in a landslide. As of the 2020 presidential election [update], this is the last election in which Louisiana voted for a different candidate than neighboring Arkansas, and the last election in which Lafayette Parish voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.
